Cecil won't be open for a few more weeks from what I read. They have ripped up the track to make the first 700' concrete. They haven't poured the new concrete yet, but are working at it.

Yeah sometimes. Atco ends up with a really low DA, sometimes a negative DA that allows for some faster than normal times. Lol that's why some people nickname it the downhill track.

If I'm not mistaken Cecil was once called the traction Capitol of the world, due to its concrete "launch" pad and the fact it's almost sea level. Also do they have any lights yet?since all the poles were stolen last year.

They are going to be pouring a lot of concrete, way too much to risk losing to bad weather. All it would take is a serious cold snap and the concrete freeze. When that happens, it is worthless....... Probably pouring over 500 cubic yards at about $90+/ yard. Not worth the risk IMO. Would rather have to wait than have a half assed track.

Traction SUCKS period at cecil due to they use watered down hairspray to prep the track on most days and use the good stuff for their MAJOR events only.
Atco-hooks--shows 60ft times
MIR-REALLY hooks-- shows 60ft times
Crapitol-Hit or miss hook---shows 60ft times
Cecil-land of no hook----shows Reaction time woopty FN doo!
Maple Grove-more expensive, crazy on the the smallet of rules, less passes, bad track prep if any at all, no organization to how the lanes are to be ran----shows they suck reaction times
75-80- even more expensive to run T&T-drive through a rock climb to get back to the pits or lanes-----dont remember dont care
